KVM: SVM: disable CR8 intercept when tpr is not masking interrupts
This patch disables the intercept of CR8 writes if the TPR is not masking
interrupts. This reduces the total number CR8 intercepts to below 1 percent of
what we have without this patch using Windows 64 bit guests.

This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running
unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)
See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.

KVM: ppc: Add DCR access information to struct kvm_run
Device Control Registers are essentially another address space found on PowerPC
4xx processors, analogous to PIO on x86. DCRs are always 32 bits, and can be
identified by a 32-bit number. We forward most DCR accesses to userspace for
emulation (with the exception of CPR0 registers, which can be read directly
for simplicity in timebase frequency determination).

Get rid of the pipeline merge stage but retain the chrdev req caching
functionality by using a merge buffer tape->merge_bh which is flushed in chunks
of several blocks at a time. Also, remove last references to pipelining, e.g.
typedef idetape_stage_s.
ide-tape: make __idetape_discard_read_pipeline() of type void
It always returns 0 which has no effect on tape positioning calculation so
simplify it by converting its type to void, bringing no functional change to the
driver.
Bart says: "can be done from user-space and is not especially interesting
even when debugging problems (raw PCI config space dump is far more useful)."
Instead of allocating pages for the buffer one by one, take advantage of the
buddy alloc system and request them 2^order at a time. This increases the chance
for bigger buffer parts to be contigious and reduces loop iteration count. While
at it, rename function __idetape_kmalloc_stage() to ide_tape_kmalloc_buffer().

idetape_queue_pc_tail() is a wrapper for its __idetape_queue_pc_tail() counterpart
and has no other functionality. Remove it and call the "wrapped" function
directly.
The computation of the block offset of the the tape position (MTIOCPOS,
MTIOCGET) is not influenced by the stages queued in the pipeline anymore but by
the size of the current buffer which is going to be sent to the drive.
ide-tape: remove pipeline-specific code in idetape_space_over_filemarks()
Since we don't do pipeline read-ahead anymore, we don't have to look for
filemarks we have crossed. Therefore, remove the code chunk that does that and
pass on the command to the tape. As a side effect, remove unused
idetape_wait_first_stage().
ide-tape: remove pipeline-specific code from idetape_add_chrdev_read_request()
In order to do away with queueing read requests on the pipeline, several things
have to be done:
1. Do not allocate additional pipeline stages in idetape_init_read() until
(tape->nr_stages < max_stages) and do only read operation preparations. As a
collateral result, idetape_add_stage_tail() becomes unused so remove it.
2. Queue the read request's buffer directly thru idetape_queue_rw_tail().
3. Remove now unused idetape_kmalloc_stage() and idetape_switch_buffers().
Prior to allocating a new pipeline stage, the code checked for the existence of
a cached pipeline stage to use. Do away with and stick to normal pipeline
stages only.
* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
(i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")
* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
if IDE is compiled as module
v2:
* Add ide_port_apply_params() helper
- use it in ide_device_add_all() and ide_scan_port().
* Make it possible to later disable ignoring cable detection by passing
"[interface_number]:0" to /sys/module/ide_core/parameters/ignore_cable
(however sysfs interface is not enabled yet since it needs some other
IDE changes to make it work reliable).

KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like
kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86
MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn.
We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places
assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support
IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will
succeed.
This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved
RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight
forward.
Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break
the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel,
AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.

There is no need to use interlocked updates when the rcp
lock is held. Therefore the simple bitops variants can be
used. This should improve performance.
Temporarily rename this function to avoid merge conflicts and/or
dependencies. This function will be removed as soon as git-s390
and kvm.git are finally upstream.
KVM: MMU: prepopulate guest pages after write-protecting
Zdenek reported a bug where a looping "dmsetup status" eventually hangs
on SMP guests.
The problem is that kvm_mmu_get_page() prepopulates the shadow MMU
before write protecting the guest page tables. By doing so, it leaves a
window open where the guest can mark a pte as present while the host has
shadow cached such pte as "notrap". Accesses to such address will fault
in the guest without the host having a chance to fix the situation.
Fix by moving the write protection before the pte prefetch.
